Zirconia ceramic pump sleeve

In the modern industrial field, especially in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, petroleum, and water treatment, the core component of fluid conveying equipment – the pump casing – directly determines the efficiency, lifespan, and maintenance cost of the entire system based on its performance. Traditional metal pump sleeves often struggle to withstand challenges such as wear and corrosion. To this end, we have launched high-performance zirconia ceramic pump sleeves, which redefine the industry standard for wear-resistant components with their excellent material properties.

Product core advantage: Why is zirconia ceramic a better choice?
Zirconia (ZrO ₂) ceramics are an advanced structural ceramic made from high-purity raw materials and advanced sintering processes, with unparalleled advantages such as:

1. Ultimate wear resistance: The Rockwell hardness (HRA) of zirconia ceramics is as high as 88-90, second only to diamond. Its wear resistance is dozens of times that of high chromium cast iron, which can effectively resist the erosion and wear of solid particles in the medium, greatly extending the service life of the pump body and pump sleeve.
2. Excellent corrosion resistance: It has extremely high stability against most corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts, and can withstand chemical substances with a wide range of pH values, solving the problem of pitting and intergranular corrosion of metal materials such as stainless steel in strong corrosive environments.
3. High strength and toughness: Through phase transformation toughening technology, the bending strength and fracture toughness of zirconia ceramics rank among the top in engineering ceramics, and can withstand high mechanical and thermal stresses, effectively preventing brittle fracture.
4. Self lubrication and low friction coefficient: The surface smoothness is extremely high, and the friction coefficient is low, which can reduce the frictional resistance with mating parts (such as plungers and pistons), lower operating energy consumption and temperature rise, and reduce wear on mating parts.
5. Insulation and stability: Non magnetic, non-conductive, extremely stable chemical properties, will not contaminate the conveying medium, especially suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries that require extremely high product purity.

What key issues are being addressed?
By choosing our zirconia ceramic pump sleeve, you will permanently solve the following pain points:
Frequent replacement of spare parts results in significant downtime losses: the ultra long service life extends maintenance cycles by several times to tens of times, significantly reducing downtime and improving overall equipment utilization efficiency (OEE).
Low operating efficiency and high energy consumption: The low friction characteristic helps to reduce the operating power of the pump and achieve energy conservation and consumption reduction.
The service life of spare parts is extremely short under harsh working conditions: whether it is abrasive slurries containing solid particles or corrosive liquids with strong acids and alkalis, zirconia pump sleeves can handle them calmly.

Widely applicable fields
Our zirconia ceramic pump sleeve is an ideal choice for the following applications:
Petrochemical industry: drilling mud pumps, metering pumps, chemical process pumps, used for transporting catalysts, slurries, and corrosive chemicals.
Pharmaceutical and Bioengineering: High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) pumps and diaphragm pumps ensure that the drug solution is free of contamination and the measurement is accurate.
Environmental protection and water treatment: reverse osmosis high-pressure pump, desulfurization pump, sludge conveying pump, resistant to seawater and chloride ion corrosion.
Mechanical manufacturing: High pressure coolant pumps and ceramic plunger pumps used for CNC machine tools.
Food and beverage: high hygiene standard transportation of sauces and granular beverages.

Witness of real customer cases
Case 1 (Anonymous Chemical Group):
A large chemical enterprise’s metering pump for transporting high concentration chloride ion slurry originally used 316L stainless steel pump sleeves, which failed on average every 3 weeks due to corrosion and wear, resulting in frequent shutdowns. After switching to our customized high toughness zirconia ceramic pump sleeve, the component has been running continuously and stably for over 18 months. Customer feedback shows that the equipment failure rate has decreased by over 90%, and the annual maintenance cost has been reduced by over 400000 yuan.
Case 2 (Anonymous Environmental Technology Company):
A technology company specializing in industrial wastewater treatment has long been troubled by the wear and tear of hard particles in wastewater on the high-pressure pump sleeve of its core reverse osmosis system. After adopting our zirconia pump sleeve, not only has the lifespan of the pump sleeve been extended by more than 10 times, but its excellent wear resistance also effectively protects the matched plunger, greatly extending the maintenance cycle of the entire system.
